2006 Honda Odyssey - Winter tire swap - 6452 km

Despite the freak snow we got on April 1st (yes, it was no joke!), I had been wanting to swap the winter tires off the van. Today I finally got a chance to do it....At the beginning of the snow season, I wasn't able to put the Hankook Ice Bears until after the first major snowfall and because steel wheels were back-ordered for a month. (I <3 my Subaru!) I thought I may have been too late to use them this year but we actually got plenty more snow. The Hankook Ice Bears handled quite well in the snow and ice. In the dry, they slipped a bit more than the OEM all-seasons and I was able to make the tires squeal off the line plenty of times on demand :0)
